"Will appeal to a range of readers, from fans of Raina Telgemeier to comics on social issues." -- BOOKLIST
Mazie's family has been offered a fantastic gift: their very own, brand-new house, built for them by Habitat for Humanity. But it's a present that comes with a number of strings attached, and soon, they'll learn just how many problems even a new home can't fix.
An inside look at inequality and second chances, struggle and hope, hard work and charity, The Lucky Poor is the incredible true story of one life-changing event, and every unexpected thing that happens next.
A graphic memoir about the author's experiences as a young person when her family was awarded a new house built for them by Habitat for Humanity, including their struggles with poverty and work to build and maintain the home.--Publisher.
